Anne Frank and her family hid from the Germans in Amsterdam. Later in WWII, Antwerp, a town about 100 miles south of Amsterdam was bombed by German V2 rockets. Hitler’s secret and terrifying weapon, the V2 rocket, was the first ballistic missile and first man-made object launched into space. Because the V2 was supersonic, it could not be tracked by radar or even visually seen in time to sound an air raid siren. Flying at four times the speed of sound, the V2 could not be brought down by Allied aircraft or artillery fire.
The camp which Anne was sent to was liberated on April 15, 1945 by the British 11th Armoured Division.The soldiers discovered around 53,000 prisoners inside, most of them half-starved and seriously ill. But, Anne passed in the month of March.
Apply Newton’s 1st Law of Motion 1. Explain the 1st law of motion and give two examples. 2. Explain how the paper rocket and launcher work using the terms provided. Explain how the different forces act based on the first law of motion. Relate each term to what is happening to the rocket or launcher. Number and underline each term. Tell the four part story. Pre-Launch: Balanced Forces(1), Static Friction(2), Tension(3), Compression(4) Launch: Unbalanced Forces(5), Acceleration(6), Mass(7) Projectile(8), Horizontal Motion(9), Free Fall(10) Flight: First law of motion(11), Inertia(12), mass(7), Unbalanced Forces(5) Fluid Friction(13) Air Resistance(14) Stopping: Balanced Forces(1), Inertia(12), Mass(7)
Build a paper rocket once you have told the story of its launch and flight. 1. Loosely shape the rocket by rolling it around a 1/2 inch tube. 2. Fold the edges of the paper tube over one end of the 1/2 inch tube. 3. Tape the folded over edges sealing one end of the paper tube. 4. Tape a cotton ball over the taped end to make it soft. 5. Put veins on the rocket.
